I've wanted to do this for a while. Nicked from obabscribbler.

Yes, i did enjoy it! Everything I said was in sincere compliment. You're right about Knives, I dont see him in any pairing at all. If I were in to slash, MAYBE Legato. Maybe. But other than that I think Vash is the only person he ever cared for.

I hadnt looked at the Wolfwood line in that Knives wouldnt have known the reform Nick had come to, then again Legato killed him presumably under orders so maybe Knives had an inkling of what Wolfwood had become, but not KNOWN it. So it makes sense, still broke my heart. I'll read the other fic. I'm a sucker for Wolfwood, madly in love is more appropriate.

I know as a writer that its important for the reader to feel the emotions the writer is wanting them to acheive. Just because I got a creepy and awful feeling from it doesnt mean I didnt enjoy it. Its the same reason I read Poe. He scares the crap outta me, and he's very disturbed, but I still enjoy it.

You know I was hoping for a happy ending but it wouldnt have fit. Wouldnt it be wild if when he grew up the cycle began again? Alex and Alexandria meeting, then meeting the twins to see what paths they took. That would be another very interesting story.

Another thing is that you turned me on to the idea of Wolfwood and Millie having kids. Its not something I took a liking to, I was hesitant about reading any fics with his children involved, I dont know it just...dunno just didnt like the idea. Now I think I do. Now I thnk I would like to read more. Have any suggestions?

Heh, I do have an idea for the Alex and Alexandria meetign again. But it would involve OC's and I don't think my writing would be up to it. I'm always very leery when it comes to writing OCs. Don't get me wrong, if you need an OC then you need an OC, but the purpose of fanfic, IMO, is to write about the characters in question. OC's often (though not always!) detract from the main characters, or even take over entirely. And as this would almost certainly be the case with Alex and Alexandria....

I'll think on the Milly and Wolfwood thing... I might have a couple but I'm not sure.

I may get back to you on that.

Well I personally am an OCer. I dont write them because of the whole Mary Sue stigma, and I dont read them...again because they tend to be VERY Sue-ish. But I have them for my own personal role plays, fantasies and musings. I think in your case, as long as you specify that it is a sequal to your story no one would mind. I certainly wouldnt, would LOVE to write it myself but...dont think I could do it the justice it deserves.

Seriously, it would make a wonderful story. Perhaps with them as young adults like in their 18's or 20's. Ideas and muses are biting. lol I've been nursing my own fanfic idea of perhaps Wolfwood's son. Dont think its terribly OC after all its a spinoff or a sequal to the anime. Its not as if I introduced my own gunslinger female dressed in a BLUE duster and called her Viki or something, and happens to be a plant and JUST as good as Vash, lol.

If I DO write it...would you perhaps be a creative consultant, or even a beta? (might not even happen mind you)
